    // FOR FIRST RECOMMENDED USE DEFAULT VIEW FILES WITH EXAMPLE CSS STYLES, CUSTOMIZE TEMPLATES AFTER TESTING

    // But after checking extension is working you can customize view templates, useful bash copy commands in project root dir:
    /*
        mkdir "frontend/views/comment"
        cp "vendor/demi/comments/frontend/widgets/views/comments.php" "frontend/views/comment/myCustomCommentsListView.php"
        cp "vendor/demi/comments/frontend/widgets/views/_comment.php" "frontend/views/comment/_myCustomCommentItem.php"
        cp "vendor/demi/comments/frontend/widgets/views/form.php" "frontend/views/comment/myCustomCommentForm.php"
    */
    // ALSO: WHILE CUSTOMIZING YOU SHOULD SAVE SOME HTML CLASS SELECTORS!
    // SEE ALL SELECTORS HERE: vendor/demi/comments/frontend/widgets/assets/js/comments.js:61
    // OR YOU CAN SET YOUR CUSTOM SELECTORS FOR WIDGET CONFIG 'clientOptions': \demi\comments\frontend\widgets\Comments::$clientOptions

    // Path to view file for render comments list (<ul> and <li> tags + nested)
//    'listView' => '@frontend/views/comment/myCustomCommentsListView',
    // Path to view file for render each comment item (inside the <li> tag)
//    'itemView' => '@frontend/views/comment/_myCustomCommentItem',
    // Path to view file for render new comment form
//    'formView' => '@frontend/views/comment/myCustomCommentForm',

                // Extend default CommentsAsset: attaching included example css-styles for comments tree.
                // After testing you can remove this lines and make own css-styles you want.
                'demi\comments\frontend\widgets\CommentsAsset' => [
                    'css' => [

Usage


For example, you wish add comments to model "Publication", so append publication view file /frontend/views/publication/view.php:

<h4>Comments:</h4>

<?= \demi\comments\frontend\widgets\Comments::widget([
    // From config file "types" array key (1 => 'Publication')
    'materialType' => 1,
    // You Publication model unique identifier
    // If you don't have this value simply type your unique key eg: "123",
    // for clarify code you can make const ABOUT_PAGE_COMMENTS_ID = 123
    'materialId' => $model->id,

    // RECOMENDED FOR FIRST RUN COMMENTED OPTIONS BELOW AND CUSTOMIZED IT AFTER TESTING
    // HTML-options for main comments ul-tag
    'options' => [
        'class' => 'comments list-unstyled',
    ],
    // HTML-options for nested comments ul-tag
    'nestedOptions' => [
        'class' => 'comments reply list-unstyled',
    ],
    // jQuery-plugin options, see all options: vendor/demi/comments/frontend/widgets/assets/js/comments.js:55
    'clientOptions' => [
        'deleteComfirmText' => 'Are you sure you want to delete this comment?',
        'updateButtonText' => 'Update',
        'cancelUpdateButtonText' => 'Cancel',
    ],
    // Maximum nested level. If level reached - nested comments will be outputted without ul-tag.
    'maxNestedLevel' => 6,
    // Url for permalink (without '#')
    'materialViewUrl' => Url::to(['view', 'id' => $model->id]),
    // ActiveForm configuration
    'formConfig' => [
        // This is required config attributes, you should save it
        'enableClientValidation' => true,
        'enableAjaxValidation' => false,
    ],
